Lansing police public information officer Robert Merritt said the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office elected against charging the man.

Police were dispatched to a residence in the 1300 block of Theodore Street about 12:30 a.m. Monday on a reported stabbing. Officers arrived at the scene, but the suspect had fled and the victim, 40, had checked himself into a local hospital.

"Apparently, there was some sort of argument, and our suspect cut our victim with a knife across the arm," Merritt said.

The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released, Merritt said.
